No, I wouldn't mind in the slightest, however it won't let me vote for some reason. It just shows the results without giving me the option of voting on one of them.

Is there any way this new board could stop those annoying as hell advertising spammers that show up here from time to time? I don't know if it's done by bots or by actual human beings, but whatever the case it's annoying to see xXX PARIS HILTON JESSICA ALBA XXx on a regular basis.

Anyways, keep up the good work Brian. Any idea as to when the changes (should they occur) will take place?

That spamming has stopped since I changed registration to be approved by myself before posting is allowed.

I think this board as acquired a few bugs over the years, another reason I want to move to a fresh board.

If the majority feel this should be the route we go, I will launch a new board soon.

I will keep the old one online for a period of time in case there are old posts people want to refer to, but it will eventually be phased out.

We had to do this on Offthepost.net, including an actual change of URL which was worrisome (but luckily the old admin left a redirect in place such that people are still getting sent there automatically, for now).

People had to re-register, but it was largely seamless -- just try to get an announcement on the front page explaining what has happened and that people shouldn't be fazed by a need to re-register.
